In 1992 my 386 DX came with DOS 5.1, not Windows. I didn't have Windows until 1995. Probably most people didn't, just enthusiasts and wealthier people.
You wanna know a really cool feature of credit cards? If you get mugged after you leave the store, you don't lose any of your money when you cancel the card and dispute any transactions.
If you call the level 1 multiverse from the article the universe, which seems reasonable if's all subject to the same physical laws and it's theoretically possible for the universes to expand into each other, the belief appears to be that it's infinite because the physics suggests no reason big bangs wouldn't happen in infinite places.
Since no one people had knowledge of the extent and geography of north and south america or their relation to the other continents before, it wasn't really called anything else.
Newly employed? Previously, the wealthy had to pay 10 servants each to stand around them waving fans all day as they walked down the street. Now all those people are out of work thanks to climate control.
The size of the planet puts limits on the atmosphere. And at 60 K, it's colder than Neptune. No depth of troposphere can turn a Neptune or Pluto warmer than Earth.
Why does boxing segregate by weight? Why not send the 100 lb guy against the 400 lb guy?
Having separate competitions gives more people a feeling that they have a legitimate chance, which makes it more entertaining and encourages more people to try the sport which ends up being good for the sport.
So you quote the FCC saying "The material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value." And Russia specifically bans swearing in works of literary and artistic value. And you can't find the difference?
While this is true, it doesn't matter. What matters is that those in favor of the blockade are passionate about making it their biggest issue that determines their vote, whereas those against the blockade will still vote based on other issues for a politician who favors it.
A computer smart enough to understand natural language as reliably as humans would probably be as intelligent as humans, and it would then be unethical for you to enslave it.
It's a lot easier to just mess with train tracks or roads on the ground. Just place a large object to cause a derailment and kill hundreds, instead of killing a mere one or two in a pod.
What's the point of doing anything beyond following basic survival and reproduction instincts at all? Most things on Earth are done simply because someone wants to or finds it exciting.
The 99% of Earth's land area which is uninhabited would be considerably better for accommodating population growth though... and after that you can make some floating cities.
An interpretation of the California constitution doesn't set a precedent for Oklahoma, and teachers in Oklahoma already have much less unassailable jobs.
There are some really awful teachers out there, who aren't even trying. Some of them used to be good but stopped caring. Even when every observer is in 100% agreement, it's a colossal and extremely expensive task to get that teacher fired. Poor districts can't afford that process and will not try.
The proprietary driver works today. Tomorrow, it stops working. It's happened to me and probably to any linux user, your computer gets a few years old and the manufacturer drops all support for your card for newer kernel versions. Better hope there's an open source driver.
Windows XP still has ~25% market share. If Linux users were still running whatever version of Red Hat came out in 2001, it'd probably have good driver support by now.
I propose building an engine which sucks in another universe from another dimension to burn as fuel. Though there may be ethical implications when using inhabited universes.

He's senator for a state that elected a professional wrestler as governor. After Jesse Ventura, it's easy to taken Franken seriously.

My oven dial doesn't even go past 500 F / 260 C.

Or... only add people on them who you actually like and trust, instead of a hundred people you barely know. What a revolutionary concept.
This allows anyone who hates you to get your domain invalidated by complaining that the information is inaccurate.
Dental procedures are not unpleasant these days? Can I move to your universe?
Even if there are Chinese clones, anything that makes people want to buy more computers is good for HP. They'd get a chunk of the sales.

Better than the psychic hotline.

It'd be as hard as finding life in northern scandinavia, where they have months of night and then months of day.
